Given that the 21st century has seen a sort of return to the roots aspect for the Mustang, it was probably only a matter of time before the Boss 302 made a return. Over the last few years there's been steady and growing interest in the concept of a new-age Trans Am Special.

Jim Clarke led the charge with the creation of the 5.0 HO V8 for the Mustang in 1982 and was responsible for the continuous improvement of the 5.0 throughout the '80s. What Jim and his team accomplished is truly amazing.

Classic Car Overview

Now for sale in our Houston showroom is this gorgeous Dark Ivy Green Metallic 1971 Ford Mustang Grande. The 1971 Mustang was introduced in September of 1970, and was offered in three body styles including hardtop, sportsroof, and convertible; all of which had an additional 3 extra inches added to their width vs. their predecessors. This was done partially to enable Fords massive 429 CID V8 to fit, without needing an extensive suspension redesign. The new 1971 hardtop featured a prominent tunnelback rear window design with flowing rear pillars, a completion of the styling exercise that began with the outgoing model. Hardtops with Grande trim gained a vinyl roof and Grande badges on the C-pillars. This dominant Mustang Grande sports its correct Dark Ivy Green Metallic paint (color code C), but adds a custom two-tone brown synthetic leather interior, which closely resembles its original 4F Medium Ginger cloth and vinyl trim; yet provides a more modern appearance. This 1971 Ford Mustang Grande is powered by its original 351 CID 4BBL Cleveland V8, backed by its original C6 3-speed automatic transmission, which spins a set of 3.00:1 gears out back. Options on this gorgeous green Mustang include: Air Conditioning, AM/FM/Cassette Radio, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Radial Tires, Seat Belts, and Vinyl Interior.
